Thank you once again to all who reviews, it still surprises me when I get so many so thank you and enjoy this chapter.
On my first date with Ronnie I was fine but knowing I'm going on a date with Barry makes me feel nervous. I planned on dressing down, no makeup and making myself look as horrible as I possible but when it came to getting ready I couldn't find it in me to follow through with my plan. I planned to wear sweats and an old t-shirt anything to put him off me because I don't want a relationship, I don't have time for a relationship but as I opened my closet door and removed the clothes I planned to wear they quickly went back and I spent an hour stood in front of my closet trying to find something to wear.
In that moment I wanted to impress him as stupid as it sounded, I wanted him to look at me and not be able to take his eyes off me. I wanted to be the girl who went out to that bar with him not the doctor. I didn't want to dress like the doctor I wanted to dress like a person in their twenties and not a middle aged woman. I wanted to knock him off his feet as cheesy as it sounds.
Finally deciding on a light grey dress that came to mid-thigh with long sleeves as it is winter, the dress has been sat in my closet for a while having never had a reason to wear it and this is the perfect opportunity to do so, when I tried it on in the store I fell in love with it and hopefully Barry will as well.
I had set my hair into loose curls and sat down in front of the mirror to do my makeup as my phone started ringing. Looking at the screen I saw Barry's name flashing on the screen making an uneasy feeling settle into the pit of my stomach. Was he calling to cancel? I know I didn't want to go on this date to first but now I am looking forwards to it, I want to spend time with Barry and hopefully after this date I'll be able to label the feeling I'm having towards him are they just feelings of friendship or more? Never in my life have I wanted to strangle someone so much nor have I wanted to kiss them or rip the clothes from their body.
"Barry" I answered the phone, putting it on speaker so I could continue to do my makeup just on the off chance that he isn't calling to cancel. "If you're calling to cancel it's fine" I told him before he could speak, I would be disappointed if he cancelled more disappointed than I ever would have expected to be but on the other hand I don't want to go because I don't want to tell him anything else about me, we haven't known each other that long and he already knows more about me than most people who have known me for years.
"What – No. I wanted to ask you do you prefer red or blue" he's voice flooding through the phone bringing a smile to my face. Even just the sound of his voice can make me smile and I've never experienced anything like that in my life. Hearing he wasn't cancelling our date flooded me with relief knowing that as much as he annoys me I still get to spend the evening with him.
"Excuse me?" I asked wondering if I had heard him correctly.
"What do you prefer red or blue" he asked again confirming that my hearing is just fine.
"Why?" I questioned wondering why he could be asking me this and why he couldn't ask me this later on our date as he isn't cancelling on me.
"Because I'm trying to decided what to wear tonight and I want to know which colour you would choose, also do you think I should wear a casual jacket or something a little smarter?" in the background I could hear the sound of hangers being pulled of his closet only for them to be quickly replaced again and brushed to one side.
"Barry you are twenty five years old, if you still need help getting dressed then call your mommy" I told him finally opening my makeup bag. Pulling out some concealer hoping to try and cover my black eye.
"I did but she told me that I am a grown man now and that she hasn't been dressing me since I was seven, that is why I called you because she told me to and I quote stop wasting my time and to decide on my own" I could hear the pout in his voice making me laugh to myself quietly so he couldn't hear me. "So which one would you choose red or blue?"
I found myself sat thinking about it, I have only ever seen him in red once and that was the day we met and he looked good in it, very good to be honest but blue would bring out the colour in his eyes not to mention match the grey of my dress. "Why didn't you call Iris she's your best friends isn't this what best friends are for?" I question knowing if I told him that the blue would bring out the colour of his eyes then he knows that I am thinking about him and I'm hoping to try and play it cool tonight and make it out the other end without strangling him.
"Yes but she would make a big deal out of it then she will come over and dress me and then she will start messing with my hair - I don't want that"
Just the idea of Iris dressing him makes me feel a little jealous as she would get to see him without a shirt on, probably has seen him without s shirt on and it only makes me wonder what he is hiding under his clothes. From the times he has been pressed up against me, I know he's got some muscles going on under there even with his thin frame he is still muscular. That thought making me want to run my hands over his skin waning to know if it is a smooth as it looks, I know I've had my hands on his skin before but I never took any notice of it because I was too busy kissing him.
The idea of getting him alone in private and peeling his clothes off and allowing myself to explore his body is enough to turn me on just think about it, let alone actually doing it – maybe that is my problem, I don't want Barry as a boyfriend or any kind of relationship, maybe my feeling towards him are because I haven't had sex in a long time and that is what I need and as Barry is the only guy around me at the moment that is why I think I have feeling towards him?
"Latte, are you still there?" Barry's voice brought me out of my day dream, a rather dirty day dream to be fair.
"I'm still here" I told him looking into the mirror to see how flushed my cheeks are, no need for blusher tonight because as soon as I set eyes on him my little day dream will come back to me.
His hands discovering my body as I discover his, his strong arms holding me and his lips against mine, how I will look him in the eye tonight I don't know, not after the thoughts I've been having about him.
"So which is it red or blue?"
"What shades?" I asked because it all depended on what shade of red and blue I was choosing between.
"Hold on I'll selfie you them"
I could hear movement on the other end of the phone allowing me to start applying the concealer that has sat in my hand since I removed it from the bag, within what felt like seconds my phone buzzes indicating that I had a text. Opening it up I saw it wasn't a picture or selfie of Barry in a shirt, in fact he was shirtless making me want to never remove my eyes from my screen, so much for imagination anymore. He wore only sweats hanging low on his hips making me bite my lip at the image I'm looking at wincing as pain shot through me because of the cut still present on my lower lip.
"Barry this is a picture of you shirtless" I told him only to be greeted by the sound of laugher.
"Sorry Latte I could resist, here I'm sending you the real ones" he continue to laugh making me want to roll my eyes at him.
My phone buzzed for a second time as I unwillingly closed Barry's shirtless picture and opened the ones showing him in the shirts. Why I am even still on the phone to him I don't know but he's making me smile and I'm sort of enjoying myself. It's better than sitting here in silence getting ready.
"I'd say the blue one but I hope you're going to do something with your hair" I told him looking at his hair in the picture to see it stuck out in every direction possible – after sex hair I you will. What is wrong with me? Why can't I have one clean thought tonight?
"I've just had a shower, I've not done my hair yet" he replied which just filled my head with naked Barry in the shower.
Maybe I should cancel tonight because if I continue like this then I will be eating him for dinner. My hormones are out of control at the moment and I can only blame Barry – I have no one else to blame, he's doing things to me I don't want him to so if I eat him alive on the table over dinner then he only has himself to blame as well.
"What about jacket?" he asked making me roll my eyes at him.
"Go with smart casual or would you prefer I come over and dress you?" I asked because at this rate it would be easier to go over to his apartment and pick his clothes out for him myself.
"I'd prefer you'd take them off"
This time I know it isn't my mind thinking that, those words did come out of his mouth right?
"Barry that is inappropriate" I told him even if in my mind I was agreeing that taking them off is a better idea than putting them on but he doesn't need to know that - play it cool remember.
The sound of Barry's laughter filled the room bringing a larger smile to my face, 'he must have the best laugh I've ever heard' I thought to myself as I could listen to it for hours – happily. It's like music.
"Anything else I can do for you because I have a date tonight and I need to finish getting ready" I asked knowing if I didn't get a move on then I wouldn't be ready in time and I hate being late.
"Anyone I know?" he asked the smugness in his voice clear to hear.
"No one special, just some lame guy who is obsessed with me" I smirked knowing I can play along with his stupid game.
"I understand why he is but he must be something if you're giving him time"
"No it's just to stop him stalking me" I shot back knowing if I agreed with him then it would just boost his ego.
"I'll see you soon Latte" Barry replied no doubt needing time to get ready himself, his hair alone must take him some time to do, let alone get dressed and make it here for eight.
"Bye slugger" I smirked hearing the groan of embarrassment from the other end of the phone.
Ending the call I continued to get ready, I still had my make up to do and then I needed to get dressed in time for him to arrive – I refuse to be late.
Date is next what do you think will happen?
